Regal Rose, River Rock, Whisper White,
Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate
As soon as I saw this colour combo, I loved it, so I don't know why I struggled with it. My desk looks like a bomb site of rejected stamped images and uncleaned stamps!
In the end I did what I am always telling my customers to do...go to the catalogue and use it for inspiration. In this case, I used our new mini (page 4) for the layout, and that gave me the kick I needed.
I've used flowers and leaves from an old fave Bodacious Bouquet. I rock 'n' rolled the big flower, but blended the ink on the stamp with my aqua-painter before stamping it on Whisper White cardstock and cutting it out. The rest of the card is pretty simple...more cutting out, a Rhinestone brad, rub-ons, paper piercing, Wild Wasabi ribbon and Polka Dots (stamped in Versamark ink).

Now I'm going to take some of those poor rejected stamp images and make some cards with them (and I might even tidy my desk!)
GORGEOUS! ~bowing down at your feet~
ReplyDeletewanna come tidy my desk when you're done?
Yet another beautiful card, Marelle!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever! I tried to have a go at this challenge but seemed to only churn out "ugly" cards. Maybe I will try again next time.
BTW, thanks for the info about the blog signature. I managed to get one organised, so thanks again.
I love the shading on your flower.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW! What a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely Marelle - another top 10 coming up I think!!
